FPG-2016 Demo

Self-Release/Independent2016

Regina, Saskatchewan-based FPG is a metal trio that was founded in 2012 and has an additional two full-length releases to it's name (a self-titled album that was issued in 2013 and 2015's "Sonic Awakening"). Band-members include guitarist/vocalist Eliot Torrens, bassist Yianni Pantelopoulos (Scythra), and drummer Adam Horvey (ex-Oblivion's Eye) with the crossover-tinged "2016 Demo"
serving as FPG's latest studio recording. Going off of past releases (with both full-length albums available to download on the group's bandcamp page ) FPG has flirted with reggae and funk, but I guess that was then and this is now (seeing as the two-track "2016 Demo" is crossover thrash of the highest consistency and all!). Whatever the case, "2016 Demo" is easily worth the price of admission and it proved to be one of those nice discoveries that you just happen to stumble upon and instantly fall head over heels for! And speaking of all things head over heels, FPG offers up some of the best stage diving/mosh metal that I've heard in a long, long time! You're going to want to clear out a shit load of space for the pit that is bound to happen when it comes to FPG's "2016 Demo"! Just so you have been properly warned....

"So, in closing, fuck you METAL MARK. Fuck you, fuck Lynch Mob, and fuck your shitty website!”
